Recipe for making a puff pastry pie with zucchini, eggs and hard cheese

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Take the frozen puff pastry out of the freezer in advance so that it becomes elastic. Wash the zucchini and cut into 3 mm thick circles. Peel the onion and cut into quarter rings. Peel the garlic cloves and cut them into thin slices.

2. Put the chopped onion in a frying pan with heated vegetable oil. Stir-fry the vegetables over medium heat until lightly golden.

3. Add the garlic to the onion. Stir and continue frying the ingredients together for another 1 minute.

4. Add the zucchini circles to the pan.

5. Stir and sauté the vegetables over low heat until soft.

6. Mix 2 chicken eggs and coarsely grated hard cheese in a deep bowl. Mix the ingredients.

7. Add the vegetables cooled to room temperature to the resulting mixture.

8. Add finely chopped parsley, salt and dried Italian herbs. Mix the filling until smooth.

9. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured work surface into a round 4-5 mm thick layer. Place the dough in a 24 cm diameter baking pan, forming the sides of the future pie.

10. Place the filling of vegetables, eggs and hard cheese on the dough.

11. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, forming curly sides. Using a culinary brush, grease the sides of the pie with milk and sprinkle them with sesame seeds.

12. Place the zucchini pie made from puff pastry in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 30-35 minutes.

13. Cool the finished pie to room temperature and cut into portions.
